Inspired by the enchanting landscapes that envelop the Western Cape of South Africa, “Een Collection” seamlessly blends organic aesthetics with digital craftsmanship, sculpting elements like bronze, travertine, and marble into intricate forms. Evoking landscapes from rugged coastlines to lush forests, the pieces offer functional pieces of art, that transcends boundaries.
Just as the marks and textures on objects of historical significance bear witness to the passage of time, the collection carries its own narrative. The surface textures, carefully crafted to mirror the traces left by erosion invite you to explore the captivating stories hidden within.
About the artist
Sculptor Otto du Plessis established Bronze Age in 1997 as one of South Africa’s first foundries dedicated to the ‘lost wax’ method in South Africa. The original Simon’s Town location included a sculpture studio, a gallery and an artist’s residency.
Founded in 2005 by Charles Haupt and Otto du Plessis, this multidisciplinary creative studio is an almost anachronistic marriage between bronze and cutting-edge design that has shaped the ancient material well beyond traditional expectations.
Their unique partnership combines the complementary skills and perspectives of an industrial designer and a sculptor. Ranging from sculptural commissions and architectural features to furniture, lighting, objects and limited-edition signature pieces, their work is internationally acclaimed and has been featured amongst others, Design Miami and Design Miami/Basel.
